His Lily Of the Valley.
st. Paul Pioneer Press.

There are very funny things that hap
kept secret. Not SO very many days ago
a ceuple-nswiy married-stopped at the
Ryan for the night. They hailed from
somewhere in the valley of the Red dis
trict, and had money enough to make a
small nipple in the city. The bride re-
tired early; but the groom, still feeling
his oats, went out to see the town. He
visited number of the prominent re-
sorts, and about midnight found himself
in the hotel elevator. Calmly transit king
the "hoist' boy With his eye, he addressed
him:
"My boy-ish swhere's my bridesh?
Swhere's my turtle dover"
The boy, of course, could not answer
him. But, finding the number of his room
he attempted to take him there.
''Noshir!" said the inebriate. "Ish-hic-
vanish my cooling dove. She's the rosesh
of the valley, she isl
Everybody in the rooms along the hall
was awake by this time, and several heads
peeped over the transoms.
s'She's-a-a-a-hi c-lambsh," he contin-
ued, "a swan of the shea. Where'sh she ?
Thatsh what want-hic to know. Whosh
stole my cuckoo from mesh?"
| By this time they were at the door of
his room. 1t suddenly opened, hand
and arm clothed in white was thrust out
and the unfortunate yanked in with a ter
| rife jerk and this remark:
Here's your rose of Sharon and lily of
the valley, you blamed old fool. Go to
bed!'

A Liars Duck Story.
st. Louis Globe Democrat.

In 1860, the year before the war, a
party of northern Illinois hunters hied
themselves to the lakes Of Minnesota for
an annual duck hunt of a few weeks, max
ing the journey to st. Paul, which was at
that time but little more than frontier
village, by steamer from Dubuque,
Iowa. Among the party was a chap
named Truax, proverbial liar, bat a
Jolly, good-natured fellow withal, whose
predominant weakness was readily ex-
cused, if not entirely overlooked, by those
who knew him well. Abe, that being his
first name, seemed to struggle more reck-
lessly and naturally with the truth when
talking about his proves as hunter of
game than on any. other subject.
One afternoon, as the steamer was
plowing its, way through Lake Pepin, g
number of the male passenges were seat
ed forward of the boiler deck, in little
knots, passing the time away in CONVEX
satlon. Abe was prominent figure in
one of the groups, and had already
astonished himself fairly by the whop-
pers he had successfully gotten off, when
the subj ect of duck-hunting, the mission
which himself and friends were out on
was adverteG to. GIVE shot few ducks
in my time," broke in Abe during a mo-
mentary lull in the talk. 'How many
did you ever kill in one day." queried
cross-eyed passenger from down
about Burlington. 'sYou may
not believe me, SIR" replied
Truax, shut in the late fall of 81 went
out alone one morning, about seven miles,
with my dog and gun, and brought home
260 ducks by actual count, and it wasn't
very good day for ducks, either!" "You
did that all alo.e, and in one trip?" asked
the cross-eyed man, as he put down some
figures on an envelope with pencil he
had carelessly taken from his vest pocket.
'Yes, sir, did" said Truax, with tinge
of ill-humor to his tone ssThose ducks
would weigh about two and half pounds
apiece, wouldn't they!" casually remarked
the Burlington man, as he kept on max
say they would" remarked the unsus-
pecting Abe. well, them" said the
persistent querist, you killed just $50
pounds OF ducks and if you can tell me
how one man is able TO lug that weight
seven miles. and carry gun at the same
time, you can do something that no other
liar in the northwest can match" Abe
reflected minute, and with ''That is a
whopper, isn't it. gentlemen?" he invited
the whole party into the bar to take
something at his expense.
The remark: "And it wasn't good day
for ducks, either" was used banteringlv
on Truax during the remainder of the
trip, and IN time it, became common on
the Mississippi. whence it spread until it
became one of the proverbial American
isms of the times.

Thn Queen.

If Moxie Nerve food can take the place of
dragging and stimulating, it has come to stay,
and many of the doctors say it actually does.
After thirteen or fourteen months on the market
its sale is said to be the largest ever known. The
large cities are talking Moxie forever, and every
nervous woman or overworked person thinks it is
the last half of everything that has just been
found. Poor little Moxie weed, it never dreamed
before that it was soon to be queen of the med
ical world.
st. Paul Daily Globe: The brilliant young ed
ltor OF the Duluth Herald, Mile Bunell, is pain

Maud s. Fond of Caresses

The Queen of the Turf is fond of cares
ses. A visiting party stood in front of
the box the other afternoon, and she
walked straight to to the open door and
rested her nose On the shoulder of one
of the young ladies. Arms were wound
around her neck, and a soft cheek laid
against her head, and she was as tender
and censiderate as big and rough man
in the presence of the girl he loves. Maud
S. has had great deal of petting, but
petting has not spoiled her. She is won
derfully gentle under the caressing hand
of woman. The Queen never looked bet
ter at this season of the yeas She stands
squarely on her feet, and the legs are hard,
smooth AID strong. The young lady who
had put her arm around the neck of the
chestnut mare asked Mr.. Bonner for one
of her shoes to hang up over her boudoir
door. She thought it would bring her
luck. The owner replied that he was not
Ia the habit of giving the shoes of Maud
S. away; it is the practice to keep them,

Rarus and Dexter are different from the
| Queen. Neither is sociable when visitors
are around. Dexter's form has wasted,
but he is well preserved for horse 20
| years old. He is never driven now. Jim
mic, the terrier which has been the. con-
slant and devoted companion of Rarus
for SO many years, is not as spry as he
was. Age is telling on him. In the box
next to Rarus is Edwin Forrest, and wha.
strongly built and speedy-shaped fell
low he is! But Mr.. Bonners favorite
road horse is Pickard. He will jog as if
drawing farmer to mill, and when spok-
en- to he will rouse himself and blind you
with rush like that of the awe-inspiring
! hurricane.

The Bedbug Got Left.
San Francisco Examiner.

"Ihe bedbug has no wings at all and he
gets left once in a while," said DR..
Chaigneau last evening, as he swung to
and fro IN a neat hammock stretched
diagonally across his Office in the ReceiF-
ing hospital.
1'LuKuries come high" he continued,
as he shifted his position, ''but we must
have them.''
"Do you intend to sleep in that ham
mock2" asked the reporter.
Certainly; that is what bought it for.
For oyer a month I have been trying to
evolve some scheme by which l could
sleep IN this hospital without being mo-
Tested by some wandering bedbug. I
knew that it would afford me great pleas
ure if l could enter this room, draw the
drapery of my couch about me and lie
down to pleasant dreams, feeling perfect
ly secure from those thirsty insects that
take delight in Nocturnal peregrinations
across ones anatomy. But a horde of
them have taken up their abode in a
number of shady hooks IN that bed
lounge. When a person stretches him
self upon it and turns down the gas, then
they skip gayiy forth from their seclu-
sion and wage incessant war against the
invader of their domain.
II have lost ten pounds during the last
month and I know that these bedbugs
have proportionately increased in weight.
But now, thanks to this little hammock,
they must seek pastures new. Tonight
they can take all the exercise they want
and I will not raise my hand nor voice to
exJerminate or denounce them.''
With this mastery peroration the sur
geon stretched his weary limbs and closed
his eyes, leaving the reporter to mediate
on the subject OF bedbugs, and wonder
for what end they had been ushered into
existence.

cumetances and condition" The traffic
officers and the managers of the road had
prepared schedules to be submitted in an
honest effort to comply with the law. He
filed a petition substantially similar in
purport to those presented by the South
ern Pacific.
J. E. Searles, Jr., of New York, repre-
senting the sugar refners of the east in
GLIDING the st. Louis refinery, entered a
protest against the granting of the San
francisco refneries' petition. He told
the history of the Hawaiian sugar trade,
to the point where the importstions from
the islands exceeded the entire consump-
ton of the Pacific coast. Then to make
a market for this surplus the importers
entered into a combination with the rail
roads by means of which they were en-
abled to lay down this foreign commodi-
ty admitted free, at prices which the
eastern refiners, who were held to full
rates of freight, could not compete. One
result had been the closing up of the ST.
Louis refinery which had cost one and a
half million dollars.

It seemed to be the purpose of the rail
roads to force the commission to acquaint
itself at once with all the details of these
questions involving the interest of the
entire country. He maintained that the
carrying of goods at a loss for the pur-
pose of driving out the clippers was not
fair competition and was MOI
thing which it was de-
sirable to encourage. There were classe:

TRIAL By JURY.

Not the least reprehensible of the many
obnoxious features of the Irish coercion
bill is the provision which does away with
the right of trial by jury. Ireland is being
treated by the English government in a
manner that would only be warranted were
she in state of open and armed rebellion,
while the actual condition of affairs is far
different. The essential difficulty is that
her people can not pay the rents the alb
sentee landlords desire to exact, and the
latter are attempting supported by the en-
tire machinery of the government to COM
pei by force what is physical impossible
ity. That disturbances should follow such
an attempt is exactly what might have been
expected, and it is only right that the alleged
offenders should receive fair and
impartial trial at the hands of people likely
to be able to understand the local situation.
They should not be subjected to star
chamber trial before a judge prejudiced
against the irish people, in sympathy with
the English governments measures Of re-
preston, and from whom they might eX-
pect no mercy. The SALISBURY govern
ment has Signally demonstrated its inability
to cope with the Irish question, and no
other one thing will more surely have a
tendency to bring about its downfall and
the restoration to power of GLADSTONE
than the abolition in Ireland of the right of
trial by jury.
